Looking to be an Advanced Reader?
Here are some sci fi and cyberpunk books for you to check out this summer
We’re on the cusp of launching one of our first books, Karma Ledger, by BJ Bell, and we’re looking for advanced readers. Because we’re all about championing books, we also wanted to help out our fellow authors and share all of these fantastic ARCs from the science fiction and cyberpunk genres.
Here’s the blurb on Karma Ledger:
In the megacity of Nexus-Hub, an AI called Karma Ledger quietly decides who lives and who dies. Taro Matsunaga is offered a job that could change that—or end him.
Taro scrapes by in the shadows of Nexus-Hub: clearing malware, cracking systems, and ROM-flashing the dead to deliver benefit payouts. It’s enough to survive, but never enough to get ahead.
A distinguished data broker, codenamed Dandelion, offers him a way to get ahead—one impossible job, one enormous payout, and a shot at the megacorporation that has turned medical aid into a luxury only the wealthy and powerful can acquire. The broker turns out to be Allison Banks, and she is everything Taro isn’t: respected, precise, and dialed into to the infrastructure that drives Nexus-Hub’s decision-makers.
The deeper Taro goes, the more Allison and her job begins to refactor his code. Protocols bend. Loyalties blur. And the system he was hired to crack starts cracking back.
Because you can’t infiltrate a system without it infiltrating you.
Karma Ledger is a philosophical, Buddhist-inflected cyberpunk thriller—corporate dystopia, transhumanism, and a slow burn between two people who manipulate systems for a living and are learning, maybe too late, how to reach each other without manipulating each other.
For readers who love:
Near-future technological dystopias where humanity is challenged
Futurist body augmentation, surveillance state threats, and corporate espionage
Found-family loyalty, philosophical science fiction, and persistent optimism
Light slow burn romance built into a story that can stand on its own
